Process change: How to turn off paper results delivery

In an effort to improve our overall users’ satisfaction, we are changing our handling process with regards to the paper results that our participants receive on an ongoing basis. Effective July 1, 2017, if your organization chooses to disable paper results delivery, then you, or someone whom you appoint from your team, will need to reach out to the data source directly. The Rochester RHIO will no longer provide an intermediary service to turn paper results off or on, and therefore, will no longer be contacting data sources for this particular change.

This change simplifies the handling process as some of our participants use Rochester RHIO to facilitate these changes while others reach out to data sources directly. Contact information is posted on the Data Sources page. Questions? Contact your Deployment Coordinator, or any member of the Deployment team at 1-877-865-7446 (RHIO), or email info@grrhio.org.
